39 and counting


Here is the massive belly at 39 weeks. Had a doctors appointment today, everything is good and starting to move in the right direction! Can't wait to find out what this little one is... boy or girl???

38

I had our 38 week appointment yesterday. She said it was up to me if I wanted to be checked for dialation and what not. I decided not to be, that way I can just "enjoy" these last few days/weeks without the added pressure of knowing if I am or not dialated. The midwife said even if you are 2-3 cm, it could mean nothing and still be 2-3 weeks away.

I do believe kicker is starting to get a bit more restless inside as it moves like crazy sometimes. I have also noticed in the last week or so that it is very responsive. If I scratch or rub my belly it usually will kick something back at me. Justin and I both have enjoyed playing with its feet or legs (we kinda shove it around!!) gently of course!

Also everyweek there is something different with me. Last week I was very tired and took many naps, this week its a midnight snack of tums..... Let me tell you its not so tasty, but we are on the home stretch and its nice knowing all this is coming to an end and we finally get to see if this little one is Joel or Ella!!!!

37.5


Yesterday we went for a walk/hike around Afton State park, I had never been there but was impressed. It was a really neat little park! We decided to set up the tripod and take a few pics in the prairie!

37 aka Full term

Well we have made it this far!! I had my 37 week appointment yesterday, everything was fine and normal with baby's head down. Listening to the heartbeat yesterday really made me think, wow pretty soon it will be a cry or giggle. Keep you all posted but I'm not counting on going early!
